So it's Smugs and Plugs....

Biden is nearly as old as McLame so there goes the age thing. Biden's been a left-wing senator for 30 odd years, so there goes the change thing. Biden is generally a pro-war Dim so the nut-roots won't be happy. He has foreign policy experience, but is considered a policy wonk and shows up M'Bonga's lack of experience. He's been involved in some serious scandals that will re-emerge soon. He criticized the Messiah heavily during the primaries.

Probably a safe choice, but uninspired and not a big help I think. They didn't even consider Hillary. That would have been a better ticket...or she didn't consider joining a sinking ship.

So I guess I won't have to hold my nose and vote for McLame afterall.

For those of you who don't remember, it was Senator Biden who strong-armed the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill through the Senate and House in the summer of 1994. That bill had within it one of the key seeds of the "Republican Revolution" that was voted in that November. The Crime Bill was the vehicle through which the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban was hammered into law
